And it doesn’t just stop there you see, “increasing the life of clothing by a further 9 months would reduce carbon, waste and water footprints by 30%.” So you have the added feel good factor knowing these clothes have been rescued from landfill. According to Love Your Clothes, in the UK alone, we send 300,000 tonnes of used clothing to landfill each year.
